Volunteer Program

Volunteering at the High Museum of Art is an experience that not only enriches the lives of our patrons, but yours as well. Volunteers engage with patrons through educational programs, by greeting visitors and helping at special events, among other activities.

The High Museum of Art Volunteer Program provides the opportunity for individuals to assist Museum members and guests and gain customer service skills, while meeting others with similar interests. You will receive a monthly email with volunteer updates, invitations to exclusive volunteer-only events, and exposure to the leading art museum in the southeastern United States
